Chiefs acquired CB Kendall Fuller and a 2018 third-round pick from the Redskins in exchange for QB Alex Smith.

A 2016 third-rounder, Fuller struggled as a rookie off a 2015 knee injury. But this past season, as the Redskins' No. 1 slot corner, Fuller appeared in all 16 games and graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 5 cover corner out of 121 qualifiers. The Chiefs really struggled on the back end of the defense in 2017, so Fuller will be a welcomed addition and should slide right into slot duties in K.C. Jan 30 - 11:01 PM

Coming off microfracture surgery, Fuller rarely looked comfortable as a rookie, allowing the second-highest passer rating (122.7) among slot corners according to Pro Football Focus. He is healthy now, however, and Keim reports it is showing up on the field. Fuller looks like the favorite to start in the slot with Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland on the perimeter.

Fuller was one of the worst slot corners in the league as a rookie. He’ll be given a chance to take a second-year leap now that he’s over his injuries. Coach Jay Gruden expects a breakout 2017 from Fuller. Wed, Jun 21, 2017 06:02:00 PM

Redskins second-year CB Kendall Fuller has been "one of the sharper defensive backs" at spring practices.

A third-round pick out of Virginia Tech last year, Fuller was the Redskins' lowest-graded corner by Pro Football Focus. Among 21 qualified slot corners, he allowed the second-highest passer rating (122.7) in coverage. Reunited with his position coach from college and a year removed from microfracture knee surgery, the Redskins are expecting a big step forward from Fuller. Wed, Jun 14, 2017 09:05:00 AM

Chiefs DE Chris Jones suffered a torn MCL in the Wild Card loss to the Titans.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jones will undergo surgery and should be recovered in 8-10 weeks. That timeline should have him ready for the offseason program. The 2016 second-rounder was outstanding as a rookie, but he was even better this season, recording 6.5 sacks while standing up well against the run. He looks like a star in the making.

NFL.com's Tom Pelissero confirms the Chiefs will not be releasing OLB Dee Ford.

GM Brett Veach said as much on Thursday. With Ford still recovering form back surgery, the Chiefs probably didn't have a choice. 2018 is his team option year, and the option is guaranteed for injury. It sounds like Ford couldn't pass a physical when the new league year starts on March 14. Ford notched two sacks on 316 snaps in 2017.

Teicher's opinion is backed up by a video showing Berry running through change-of-direction drills in early February. The Chiefs will likely take it slow with their star safety, but he should be close to 100 percent when training camp opens. Berry has been an All-Pro each of his last three healthy seasons.
